The location is the new tram Burwood tram terminus in Norwood Road (later Toorak Road) at Boundary Road (later Warrigal Road).

East Burwood was the name of the line between 1978 and 2005. In 1916 the new Burwood line beyond Camberwell Junction was mostly single track with many passing loops. The service proved to be so popular that the Hawthorn Tramways Trust's 10 maximum traction cars were quickly supplemented by 4 similar trams purchased from the Prahran and Malvern Tramways Trust.Yields information about the opening of the Burwood line Black and white photograph glued to blue paper with note below.

During World War 1, to finance the war the Commonwealth Government had a series of war loans, and then peace loans. To recover the cost of the war and fund soldier pensions the government launched 'Peace Loan' campaigns after the war. The various Shires in each State were given quotas that they were expected to raise. As part of the efforts to gain support for the Seventh War Loans for the Commonwealth, an Australian military tank launched an "offensive" throughout Northeast of Victoria, visiting several towns finishing at Wodonga on Saturday 5th Wodonga and staying on the Sunday before continuing on its tour. In response to this and other fund-raising efforts, the Wodonga community subscribed more than £12,845 to the Peace Loans which was acknowledged with the presentation of the brass plaque.This image captures an important event in Wodonga in response to World War 1.A black and white photograph depicting crowds gathered outside the Shire Hall in Wodonga.
